The Psionicle, Part VIII

[Zhure]

Osius

"I don't even know to whom to sell these stones... Syld, this is Photosynthesis and this one is Wisdom of the Land. Any idea what they do?"

 

[Dalamar]

Syld shakes his head.
"No idea, I've got a big bugger here, has Discharge Venom and Condense Water.
They're probably yuan-ti specials."

OoC: Can I make an Int check to decipher something of the stones? Knowledge? Anything?

OoC: Can I make an Int check to decipher something of the stones? Knowledge? Anything?

I'd say make a Psicraft check at DC 20 to determine the general effects of the powers (ie, no game mechanics, just description), and their disciplines. DC 25 to figure out everything about the power in question. You can only do this on one power, from one stone, at a time.

Osius

Osius has a +3 total modifier on Psicraft and will attempt to determine what his stones do.

 

[Jarval]

"Aye, it has," The dwarf says. "There is little demand for the works of technology in a land filled with psionics."

"That'll be forty gold, please."

"A shame that. I hope you have better luck in your next venture." Jansson replies as he passes the coins to the dwarf.

Jansson heads out of the shop into the street outside. "Do you need any other equipment?" he asks Tori'shel. "I think we'll be setting off after the piece of the Psionicle Shardorn found soon, as my friends don't seen to tarry in town long. Best to get all the essentials before we start."


While going about the town, Jansson will also buy 20 more arrows.

 

[Dalamar]

OoC: Psicraft total +10, taking 10 to learn of the powers.

Syld
Taking 10 gives you a 20, which gives you the discipline and a vague description.

Discharge Venom: Psychometabolism. Your bite attacks produce a nasty poison.

Condense Water: Psychokinesis. You condense water in the air down into a small area.

-----

Osius
You got a 12 (9+3), and an 18 (15+3), so you cannot determine anything about the powers.

 

[Dalamar]

"We have a nasty little bugger here, fit for a yuan-ti, giving poison bite. The other seems more a utility power, condensating water. Might be good when going to a desert.
Hand me the stones Osius, I'll see what they're up to."

Shopping and Identifying...

Jansson

"Do you need any other equipment?"

"No, I'm fine." Tori'shel says. "Other than those shots, I don't really need anything."

20 Arrows - 1 gp
You find yourself, once again, in a ranged weapon shop that bears a sign with a scratched-off name.

"Hello, again," An aged man says as you enter. "It's been awhile since I last saw you..."

"It will be one gold for those," He says, as he places a bundle of arrows on the counter.

-----

Syld
Assuming you take 10 for your Psicraft checks again...

Wisdom of the Land - Clairsentience. Gain some knowledge of the land that you stand upon.

Photosynthesis - Psychometabolism. Stand or rest within light of the sun to be rested and nourished.

 

[Dalamar]

"So, we have a information gatherer here, info on the surrounding land. Again, might be useful if we head to the desert.
The other's for people who like sun and don't like eating."
